The British actor, who is nominated for a Golden Globe for his most recent performance as King George VI in the King's Speech, unveiled his sidewalk shrine on Thursday in front of the Pig 'N Whistle pub on Hollywood Boulevard.

The actor, who found fame playing Mr Darcy in the BBC's Pride and Prejudice, dedicated the honour to his Italian wife.

"I want to thank everybody that has accompanied me on this extraordinary journey, but probably more than anybody I could ever imagine Livia who has walked every step of this with me joyfully and truthfully," he said.

Before dabbing his eyes, he added: "When I look down there at that star, it's her name I see."
